The '''Renault Trafic''' (pronounced as "traffic") is a [[light commercial vehicle|light commercial]] [[van]] produced by the French automaker [[Renault]] since 1980. It has also been marketed as the '''[[Fiat Talento]]''', the '''Nissan NV300''', the '''Nissan Primastar''' and the '''Mitsubishi Express'''. Until 2019, it was also sold as the [[Opel Vivaro|Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro]] (briefly sold as the '''Opel/Vauxhall Arena''' earlier) by [[Opel]] and its associated company [[Vauxhall Motors|Vauxhall]]. From early 2022 onwards, the van is also marketed by [[Renault Trucks]] as the '''Renault Trucks Trafic'''. 

Previous versions of the Renault Trafic have been sold under [[Inokom]], [[Chevrolet]] and [[Tata Motors|Tata]] badges.

The second generation Vauxhall/Opel Vivaro was produced in [[GM Manufacturing Luton]] and in [[Sandouville Renault Factory]] plant starting in 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.just-auto.com/news/luton-immediate-future-secure-as-vauxhall-confirms-vivaro-build_id109899.aspx|title=Luton immediate future secure as Vauxhall confirms Vivaro build|publisher=Just Auto|date=24 March 2012|access-date=12 April 2012|archive-date=30 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170930222647/https://www.just-auto.com/news/luton-immediate-future-secure-as-vauxhall-confirms-vivaro-build_id109899.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, following the sale of Opel/Vauxhall from [[General Motors]] to [[Groupe PSA]] in 2017, which later went into car manufacturing merged with [[Fiat Chrysler Automobiles]] in 2021 as [[Stellantis]], the Trafic-based Vivaro went out of production in 2019, and was replaced by the next generation Vivaro based on the Citroën Jumpy [[PSA EMP2 platform|EMP2 Platform]] for the 2020 model year.

[[File:Renault trafic jaslo 2.jpg|thumb|left|Pre facelift Renault Trafic (rear)]]
The original Renault Trafic was sold from 1980 to 2001 and was somewhat revised and updated during its lifetime.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sandouville: new plant, New Trafic and 50 years of excellence |url=https://media.group.renault.com/global/en-gb/renault/media/pressreleases/58572/sandouville-nouvelle-usine-nouveau-trafic-et-50-ans-dexcellence |website=media.group.renault.com |access-date=18 August 2019 |language=en |archive-date=18 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190818210350/https://media.group.renault.com/global/en-gb/renault/media/pressreleases/58572/sandouville-nouvelle-usine-nouveau-trafic-et-50-ans-dexcellence |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Originally, the van had some variations in the front end shape depending on which engine was fitted, with the original 1397&nbsp;cc motor fitting behind a flat grille, and the 2.1-litre diesel engine and larger 1647&nbsp;cc petrol engines requiring an extended plastic grille and deeper bumper.

The 1721&nbsp;cc OHC engine replaced the 1647 cc OHV unit in the mid 1980s, which fitted under the shorter grille, but required a small lump in the bonnet. The diesel and 2.2-litre petrol carried on with the extended grille.

In the end of 1984, a four-wheel drive version was introduced. This was a [[Four-wheel drive#Part-time|part time system]] coupled with the diesel engine and a five speed manual transmission. This model operated as a front wheel drive until the rear wheels were engaged with a [[dog clutch]], a system similar to the one used by Renault on the [[Renault 18|R18 4x4]].<ref name=AGp18>{{cite journal | ref = AG140 | journal = De AutoGids | number = 140 | volume = 6 | page = 18 | title = 63e salon voor bedrijfsvoertuigen: Geen schokkende dingen | trans-title = The 63rd commercial vehicle exhibition: Nothing shocking | first = Tony | last = Verhelle | language = nl-be | date = 7 February 1985 | publisher = Uitgeverij Auto-Magazine | location = Brussels, Belgium }}</ref>

In May 1989, the Trafic underwent a major front end facelift, with a rounder shape and a plastic bumper, and the new longer body shape covering all varieties of engine. In 1995, the Mk1 Trafic got its final facelift, with a new grille, new tail lights, large double rear view mirrors, and a new interior with a modern dashboard and multi adjustable seats.

===Winnebago===
The chassis and cab of the 1980s models were used as the base vehicle by [[Winnebago Industries]] to build the Winnebago '[[Winnebago LeSharo|LeSharo]]' from 1983,<ref>{{cite web|title=Curbside Classic: 1985 Winnebago|url=http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2010/05/curbside-classic-1985-winnebago-23mpg-lesharo-turbo-diesel-rv/|work=Truth about cars|date=9 May 2010|access-date=15 January 2012}}</ref> and Itasca Phasar.

For the chassis and cab version to meet safety and emission requirements in the United States, this version was sold with Renault's J7T {{convert|2165|cc|L|1|abbr=on}} gasoline engine, and 2.1-litre diesel and turbo diesel engines, coded as J8S and shared with the 1985 to 1987 [[Jeep Cherokee (XJ)|AMC/Jeep Cherokee]]/[[Jeep Comanche|Commanche]].

Jeep versions used the Garrett T2 turbocharger while Winnebagos received the larger T3 type. [[California Air Resources Board|CARB]] granted a series of yearly waivers to Winnebago for non compliance in omitting On Board Diagnostics (OBD I), these waivers remained in effect throughout the model run from 1983 to 1992.

===Campervan Variants===
The Mk1 Trafic became popular for professional conversion into budget family [[motorhome]]s due to the flexibility of the design and the generous internal space for what was a relatively small van. Popular converters were ''Auto Sleepers'' and ''Holdsworth'' (now defunct). Other motorhome builders using the Trafic Mk1 as a base include Hymer, [[Elddis]], Eriba, and Autostar.

===Opel Arena===
From 1997 to 2001, the Renault Trafic was marketed as the '''Opel Arena''' in [[Germany]] and as the '''Vauxhall Arena''' in the [[United Kingdom]]. [[Nick Reilly]], [[Vauxhall Motors|Vauxhall]]'s chairman and managing director commented that the Arena marked the first time the company could offer a total commercial range ever since the days of the old [[Bedford CF]], which ended production in 1986.<ref>{{cite web |title=Renault links with GM |url=https://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/2nd-january-1997/8/renault-links-with-gm |website=Commercial Motor |access-date=25 July 2022 |date=2 January 1997 |quote=Nick Reilly, Vauxhall's chairman and managing director, says the new models "give us a total commercial product range for the first time since the Bedford CF". |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220725085848/https://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/2nd-january-1997/8/renault-links-with-gm |archive-date=25 July 2022 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=A Name Becomes a Trademark: 90 Years of the Opel Blitz |url=https://www.media.stellantis.com/em-en/opel/press/a-name-becomes-a-trademark-90-years-of-the-opel-blitz |website=Media Stellantis |access-date=25 July 2022 |quote=After a 10-year pause, Opel made a successful return to panel vans in 1997 with the Arena. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220725103206/https://www.media.stellantis.com/em-en/opel/press/a-name-becomes-a-trademark-90-years-of-the-opel-blitz |archive-date=25 July 2022 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Tata Winger===
{{main|Tata Winger}}
In June 2007, [[Tata Motors]] announced the introduction of the [[Tata Winger|Winger]], a panel van and minibus based on the 1995 to 2001 version of the Renault Trafic, but fitted with Tata's own two litre diesel engines, with or without turbo.<ref>{{cite web |title=Tata Motors says holding margins a challenge |url=http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKBOM23581620070618 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305203346/http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKBOM23581620070618 |url-status=dead |archive-date=5 March 2016 |publisher=[[Reuters]] |date=18 June 2007}}</ref>

===South America===
For South America, the vehicle was made in the [[Renault Argentina]] facility at Santa Isabel, Córdoba. In Brazil, it was badged as Chevrolet Trafic and later as the Renault Trafic or Chevrolet SpaceVan. A pickup version was sold as the Renault Trafic Rodeo. Production ended in 2002.

The second Trafic resulted from a joint venture between [[Germany|German]] [[Opel]], [[Japan]]ese [[Nissan]], and [[France|French]] [[Renault]]. It is also sold as an Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro and [[Nissan]] Primastar.

Designed by Renault's corporate design department based within the company's Technocentre outside Paris, the Trafic was developed by the engineering team of Renault's light commercial vehicle unit at [[Villiers-Saint-Frédéric]]. Manufactured by [[GM Manufacturing Luton]] at its plant in [[Luton]] — beside Primastar and the Vivaro — the Trafic was the first Renault vehicle to be built in the United Kingdom in more than thirty years.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/news/release?id=78670 | title = New Renault Trafic voted International Van of the Year 2002 | publisher = [[Renault]] | year = 2002 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110608095349/http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/news/release?id=78670 | archive-date = 8 June 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=History & Heritage|url=http://media.gm.com/gb/vauxhall/en/company/c_company-profile/index.html|work=Vauxhall Motors Ltd.

The van exists in several versions, from a three seater with all the rear space available for loads, to a nine seater, also known as a "Passenger van". Its name is based on the [[French language|French]] word for "trade" or "traffic" (depending on the context). The van was designed by Renault in Paris, and both Renault-Nissan and Opel/Vauxhall versions are manufactured by Opel/Vauxhall at their plant in Luton.<ref name="pr"/> In 2012, production of the Vauxhall Vivaro totalled 36,982 and 16,483 for the Renault Trafic.<ref>{{cite web|title=Facts and Figures 2012|url=http://www.opel.com/content/dam/Opel/Europe/master/hq/en/15_ExperienceSection/02_AboutOpel/company/facts_figures/Opel_Facts_and_Figures_2012_EN.pdf|work=Adam Opel|access-date=15 August 2013|pages=36|archive-date=4 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130904023518/http://www.opel.com/content/dam/Opel/Europe/master/hq/en/15_ExperienceSection/02_AboutOpel/company/facts_figures/Opel_Facts_and_Figures_2012_EN.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>

A mild facelift in October 2006 had the orange indicators swapped for clear ones, which were more integrated into the headlamp housings. On the Opel/Vauxhall model, the indicators moved from the front bumpers, up into the headlamp housings, thus looking more similar to the Renault one. Production ended in June 2015.

The Vivaro is available in panel van, minibus, combined bus/van, and platform crew cab configurations. Two different wheelbase styles, and two roof height options are also available, as well as three diesel engine power options and a [[petrol engine]].

The vehicle was given a mild facelift in 2006, during which the front indicators were moved from the front bumper, up into the headlight housing and only a 2.0 L [[Inline-four engine|four cylinder]] diesel engine is available in two states of tune; a {{convert|90|PS|kW bhp|0|abbr=on}} or {{convert|115|PS|kW bhp|0|abbr=on}}<ref>{{cite web|title=Vauxhall Vivaro: Technical Data|url=http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/vehicles/vauxhall-range/vans/vivaro/features-specs/engines-transmissions.html|work=Vauxhall|access-date=10 April 2012}}</ref> mated to a six speed manual or optional automatic transmission.

Renault released a new generation Trafic in September 2014. It was again rebadged and sold as the Opel Vivaro in Europe and Vauxhall Vivaro in the UK. Styling was updated for the 2019 model year<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.carscoops.com/2019/04/restyled-renault-master-and-trafic-get-new-faces-updated-engines-and-new-tech/ |title=Restyled Renault Master And Trafic Get New Faces, Updated Engines And New Tech |author=Mihalascu, Dan |date=24 April 2019 |work=CarScoops |access-date=29 November 2022}}</ref> and again for the 2021 model year,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.carscoops.com/2020/11/2021-renault-trafic-is-more-modern-safer-and-practical-than-ever/ |title=2021 Renault Trafic Is More Modern, Safer And Practical Than Ever |author=Gnaticov, Cristian |date=3 November 2020 |work=CarScoops |access-date=29 November 2022}}</ref> then in 2024 with the new Renault and Nissan logos.

Two lower power variants (95 PS and 115 PS) use a variable geometry turbocharger, while the highest output (125 PS and 145 PS) variant employs a twin turbocharger arrangement; other features include variable output water and oil pumps and a maintenance free timing chain.<ref>{{cite web | last = Dallas | first = James | date = 24 September 2013 | url = http://www.whatvan.co.uk/analysis-and-comment/2013/vivaro-production-keeps-on-rolling | title = Vivaro production keeps on rolling | work = WhatVan? | access-date = 4 August 2014}}</ref>

===Rebadged variants===
Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro variants for the United Kingdom and mainland Europe were manufactured at GM Manufacturing Luton and at Sandouville, except for the high roof variants and the left-hand drive variants, which were manufactured at Sandouville. The new Vivaro dropped the previous larger capacity diesel engines, in favour of a 1.6 Energy dCi (Renault/Renault Trucks/Nissan/)/CDTI (Opel/Vauxhall)/MultiJet (Fiat)/Di-D (Mitsubishi) engine. From 2016, Vauxhall Vivaro models gained a ''Made In Britain'' badge at the rear.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.perrys.co.uk/car-news/news/vauxhall-joins-made-in-britain-campaign/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170914230309/http://www.perrys.co.uk/car-news/news/vauxhall-joins-made-in-britain-campaign/|archive-date=14 September 2017|title=Vauxhall Joins Made In Britain Campaign|publisher=Perrys – UK Dealer}}</ref> The Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro went out of production in 2019, when Opel/Vauxhall was acquired by [[Groupe PSA]]; it was replaced by a new generation Vivaro which was a rebadged [[Citroën Jumpy]] for the model year of 2019.

[[Renault–Nissan Alliance]] partner Nissan sold a rebadged Trafic II (X83) as the Primastar.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/nissan/primastar |title=Nissan Primastar (2006–2016) van review |work=Auto Express |access-date=29 November 2022}}</ref> The Primastar was renamed to the NV300 for 2016 and moved to the Trafic III (X82).<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.whatcar.com/nissan/nv300/van/review/n18189 |title=Nissan NV300 review |work=What Car? |access-date=29 November 2022}}</ref> The light commercial vehicle variant of the NV300 reverted to using the Primastar nameplate in 2021.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/nissan/356137/new-nissan-primastar-and-interstar-panel-vans-unveiled |title=New Nissan Primastar and Interstar panel vans unveiled |author=Wilkinson, Luke |date=27 September 2021 |work=Auto Express |access-date=29 November 2022}}</ref>

In July 2016, [[Fiat]] introduced a rebadged Trafic, called [[Fiat Talento|Talento]] to replace its Scudo, which had been a rebadged [[Citroën Jumpy]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/fiat/talento|title=Fiat Talento van review|website=Auto Express}}</ref> In October 2019, all of the vans were given a facelift which introduced a new 2.0-litre EcoJet diesel engine which is 11 percent more fuel efficient than the older 1.6 litre and variable-geometry turbocharger for smoother engine performance at low speeds. Small exterior changes include revised front bumper and black plastic wing mirrors instead of painted ones. Interior received an updated steering wheel, textured crash pads on the dashboard, new choice of interior trims and 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto supported.<ref>{{cite news |last=Wilkinson |first=Luke |title=Facelifted 2020 Fiat Talento on sale now |url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/fiat/talento/108156/facelifted-2020-fiat-talento-on-sale-now |access-date=4 June 2020 |work=Auto Express |date=15 October 2019 |language=en}}</ref> In September 2020, Renault announced it would stop supplying Talentos to Fiat, as [[Fiat Chrysler]] had declared plans to merge with Renault's rival [[Groupe PSA]] to form [[Stellantis]].<ref>{{Cite news|first = Sarah | last = White |date=23 October 2020|title=Renault to end van collaboration with Fiat ahead of Fiat/PSA deal|work=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-renault-outlook-fiat-idUSKBN2780PX|access-date=26 October 2020}}</ref> The Talento was replaced by a new Scudo/Ulysses, which was again a rebadged Jumpy.

In 2020, the Trafic was rebadged and introduced as the third-generation [[Mitsubishi Express]] for Australia, and as a replacement for the former [[Mitsubishi Delica#Third generation (1986)|L300]] in the New Zealand market.<ref name="MAU">{{Cite web|url=https://www.motoring.com.au/mitsubishi-express-to-return-115560/|title = Mitsubishi Express to return}}</ref> It was discontinued two years later.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mitsubishi Express axed, final deliveries by end of 2022 |url=https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/mitsubishi-express-axed-final-deliveries-by-end-of-2022 |access-date=19 October 2022 |website=CarExpert |date=26 April 2022 |language=en}}</ref> The existing Renault Trafic has also been sold in these markets since 2014.<ref name="MAU"/>

In 2022, Renault starts to supply the Trafic to [[Renault Trucks]] (company owned by [[Volvo|Volvo AB]]) to sell Trafics on its dealerships using the Renault Trucks badging.<ref name=PRRT>{{cite press release |url=https://www.renault-trucks.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/commercial-vehicles-renault-trucks-announces-launch-trafic |title=Commercial vehicles: Renault Trucks announces the launch of the Trafic |publisher=Renault Trucks |date=27 January 2022 |access-date=7 May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Usine Renault de Sandouville (France) - Renault Group |url=https://www.renaultgroup.com/groupe/implantations/usine-sandouville/ |access-date=2023-11-29 |website=www.renaultgroup.com |language=fr}}</ref>
